Abstract

Osteoporosis, as a musculoskeletal disease, is assigned by low bone mass and degradation of bone microarchitecture, culminating in an escalation in bone weakness and propensity to fracture [1,2]. When the cumulative effect of bone resorption is in excess of bone formation, osteoporosis is induced [1]. Osteoporotic fractures are linked to substantial morbidity, mortality, and high healthcare expenses [1].
